³⁰ Jesus performed many other signs^(A) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.^{(B) 31} But these are written that you may believe^[a](C) that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,^(D) and that by believing you may have life in his name.^(E)

³⁷ If anyone thinks they are a prophet^(A) or otherwise gifted by the Spirit,^(B) let them acknowledge that what I am writing to you is the Lord’s command.^(C)
